WATERPROOF GOODS 



Are made of Scotch Gingham of the finest quality, covered 
with a very thin coat of a n&^ compound, which renders the cloth 
entirely impervious to Water, giving it a rich, silk-like appearance. 
When coated, it weighs only about two ounces to the square yard, 
and a full-size Ladies' Cloak weighs only about ten ounces, can be 
rolled into a package that can easily be carried in the pocket, and 
when worn is so light as to be almost imperceptible to the wearer. 
They are an equal protection against the showers of summer, the 
rains of spring and fall, or the severer storms of winter, and are 
an invaluable addition to every lady's outfit. They are absolutely 

Proof Against Changes of Temperature, 
Moisture or Age.

which dispenses with the destructive processes that are used in all 
other systems of manufacturing similar materials. 

In ordering a coat, give height and weight of person, and 
measurement around breast. In Ladies' Cloaks, measure from 
back of neck to bottom of dress, and designate the style, as per 
list. 

Rubber Clothing should be worn rather easy than otherwise.

The Greatest Invention Znown. 

A Substitute for Monthly Bandages. 

Exclusively for ladies' use. Entirely new ; nothing like it. Away 
with the old bandages, and have comfort and ease by wearing an 
Adrianna. It \yill give you pleasure. By its use a lady's monthly 
effusions are absorbed without change of linen, preserving cleanli- 
ness of person, avoiding staining the linen, bedding, etc., counter- 
acting the usual unpleasant odor, giving perfect freedom of action, 
and preventing liability to catch colds at a critical period. This 
excellent article is highly approved of, endorsed, recommended 
and adopted into general use by all ladies of taste and refinement. 
It is now the universal favorite with them. It is what every lady 
has wished for. 

In introducing this valuable article to the notice and patronage 
of the ladies, we would simply state that it is the only ap- 
pliance a ladj' can adopt with certainty to prevent the improper 
use of incomplete bandages of the old style, and avoid the very dis- 
agreeable effects resulting from their encumbrance, which fre- 
quently subject ladies of delicacy to much annoyance, and place 
them in an embarrassing position during the time of their periodi- 
cal indispositions. 

The Adrianna is recommended by most celebrated members of 
the medical profession in their practice, and its value has proved 
of the most successful and flattering description for the Falling of 
the Womb, (one of the greatest evils a married lady is subject to,) 
Leucorrhea or Fluor Albus, (commonly called Whites,) Seminal 
Weakness, Secretions, Want of Power to Retain the Urine, Pro- 
fuse Menstruation or Flooding, Polypus of the Womb, Inflamma- 
tion and all Fe.male Diseases, for which it is a certain preventive 
and radical cure. 
Every lady approves of it at sight. Price, $2.00 each. 

Sent by mail to any address upon receipt of price, postpaid. 

We have a complete line of rubber goods adapted to ladies' use. 
In fact, everything that is made or can be made in rubber may be 
found at our establishment.

ATMOSPHERIC BOSOM, 



J [OMPLfTE SUBSTIlllTE FOB ONE OF lUIDBE'S EBEJTEST CNJBMS, 



What is more graceful or more to be admired than a handsome 
and fully developed bust? Some ladies are bountifully endowed 
naturally: we propose to do the same artificially. One of the 
greatest charms in beautiful women is the full and rounded contour 
of a well developed bust. The Atmospheric Bosom is elastic and 
inodorous, it is readily adjusted to any size by exhaling air into it, 
apfi will remain for an unlimited period any size desired by the 
wearer. 

It expands, contracts and palpitates with the natural movements 
of the breast, is exquisite in symmetry and beauty, cannot be de- 
tected from nature, and at the same time awakens admiration and 
pleasure among the. refined and intelligent. There is no article of 
lady's toilet ever received with greater acceptance than the 
Atmospheric Bosom ; none gives greater satisfaction.

BURR'S PATENT NURSING BOTTLE. 




The Most Healthful, Durable and Convenient 
Nursing Bottle in the World, 



The peculiar shape of our Bottle, with its Flexible Tube inside, 
Possesses Real Advantages. The Bottle can be laid upon 
either side without liability to leaking, and, if reversed, as they 
are almost certain to be by the child, the tube is not liable to be 
compressed into a sharp angle by the edge of the mouth of the 
Bottle, impeding the flow of the milk, and inducing the infant to 
over-exert itself in futile efforts to draw liquid into its mouth, 
making it fretful, &c. This is impossible zvith Burr's Patent. 

For Prices, see Page 49.

BURR'S PATENT NURSING BOTTLE. 

1 i^l 2 ■ ' 



The above cut shows the construction and advantages of our 
Patent Combined Mouth-Guard, Nipple-Holder and Tube-Con- 
nector. 

This is constructed of a single piece of boxwood, having beneath 
the mouth-guard a shoulder to which the tube is attached, and 
above the mouth-guard a shoulder or shoulders, which constitute 
the Nipple-Holder. No. i, having two shoulders above the 
mouth-guard, is adapted to the use of a small or a large nipple, as 
may be preferred, while No. 2 will accommodate only the smalt 
nipple. With either, the nipple can be removed in an instant, the 
tube quickly and thoroughly cleansed with the aid of Burr's Tube 
Brush, (which should accompany each bottle,) and the nipple 
replaced without injury, and with no waste of patience or of time. 

BEWARE OF WOSTHLESS AND DANQESOUS IMITATIONS, 
In which the mouth-guard and nipple-holder are in two separate 
pieces, so arranged that it is impossible, or next to impossible, to 
remove the nipple without destroying it. Such bottles, when in 
use, are not, and from their very construction cannot be kept 
sweet and lit for use. 

The Best is the Cheapest, and Burr's Patent Nursing Bottle 
is not only theoretically the best, but it has stood the test of 
TIME and USE, having for more than TEN YEARS received' 
the unqualified approval of Physicians, Druggists, Nurses, and 
Mothers. 

To guard against worthless imitations, see that M. S. BURR'S 
" Pat. Aug. 27thj 1867, reissued Dec. 21st, 1875," are stamped on 
the mouth-guard, and that the words " BURR'S Patent Nursing 
Bottle, Pat. Nov. 26th, 1872," are blown in the glass bottle.

INDIA RUBBER. 

Where it comes froi-a and how it is Obtained. 



India Rubber is imported into tbis country from Soutb America, 
Central America, Africa, East India, and in fact it grows through- 
out the Tropics. About fifteen million pounds of the raw material 
are annually imported into the United States alone. The valley of 
the Amazon yields annually about twelve million pounds, nearly 
one-half of which is exported to the United States, and the 
remainder to Europe. 

It was in the luxuriant tropical vegetation of South America 
that the India Rubber tree was first discovered and made known 
to the world. After steam and electricity, it has proven to be the 
most astonishing discovery of the nineteenth century. It is to-day 
used for thousands of useful and ornamental purposes. The 
number of different articles made to-day of India Rubber is innu- 
merable, for the art of manufacturing it has improved daily, 
especially within the last twelve years, and in excess of any other 
class of goods manufactured in the United States. It enters into 
thousands of different classes of trade in consequence. It seems 
capable of being converted into almost any form or article other 
than food or drink. 

The tree which produces India Rubber, or Caoutchouc, as it is 
called by the natives of South America, is found in the tropics of 
both hemispheres. It grows to the height of about sixty feet, 
without branches, except at the top, where it is crowned with a 
rich foliage. The leaves are of a dark green color, thick and 
glossy, resembling the magnolia; the bark is smooth, and the fruit 
consists of a white almond, eaten by the natives. 

The Rubber is obtained by tapping. In order to obtain it the 
natives make a long gash in the bark of the tree, with a narrow 
hatchet; a thin white and oily liquid flows out; the milk or juice 
resembles cow's milk; a wedge is then inserted to keep the gash 
open ; a small clay cup, rudely constructed, is stuck to the tree 



729 BROADWAY, COR. WAVERLY PLACE, 61 



beneath the gash. In about four hours the milk ceases to run, and 
each cup has yielded about a gill. The Seringelo or Rubber- 
gatherer then collects the cups and empties the contents into large 
clay vessels, and commences the operation of forming the milk into 
shape and smoking it. 

This must be done within a few hours, as the milk soon congeals 
and becomes thick. A fire is then made on the ground, of the nuts 
of the Wasson palm tree, over whi,ch is placed inverted an earthen 
pot, with a number of holes in the bottom, whence issue jets of 
pungent smoke ; moulds made of clay which have been dipped in 
the milk are then passed slowly through the hot smoke. After the 
required thickness is obtained the moulds are cut and washed out, 
thus leaving nothing put the pure Rubber. The smoke changes 
the color of the Rubber very little, but after an exposure to the sun 
and atmosphere, becomes brown and after a time black. 

The Rubber from India and Africa is obtained by allowing the 
sap from the gash to flow down the side of the tree into a kind of 
basin scooped out in the soil. It is then gathered with the loose 
bark and dirt into bundles for shipment. 

India Rubber in its crude state becomes soft when subjected to 
heat, and very hard when exposed to severe cold, but by the 
vulcanizing' process, invented by the late Charles Goodyear, which 
consists of incorporating with the Rubber a small portion of 
sulphur and other ingredients — subjecting it to heat from 250 to 300 
degrees of temperature, for several hours'— it is rendered uniformly 
elastic when exposed to the most intense cold or to any moderate 
degree of heat. 

As early as 1813, a patent was taken out in Philadelphia by 
Jacob Hummel, for a water-proof varnish, made of India Rubber, 
although in England one Chas. Fleetwood, was granted letters 
patent in 1784 for about the same composition — i. e., rubber, bees- 
wax and oil. 

But all such compositions when dried with the addition of lin- 
seed oil were found for a time to remain flexible, but at times 
would become hard and drj', then brittle, and in cold v/eathcr 
would crack, thus preventing its being water-proof. 

About the year 1821 Chas. Mackintosh, of England, first manu- 
factured a water-proof cloth, by spreading a thin layer of Rubber, 
dissolved in turpentine, between two thicknesses of cloth, and 



62 GOODYEAR CURLER COMPANY. 



afterwards made into clothing, blankets, etc., and to this day these 
goods are known as Mackintosh clothing. About this time an 
officer in the Austrian army started a factory near St. Denis, in 
France, for making elastic goods — braces, garters, etc. 

RUBBER OVERSHOES. 

From 1824 to 1828 India Rubber became the subject of scientific 
investigation. In 1832 there was a large factory started in Rox- 
bury, Mass. About the same date there were some four or five 
other factories started in New England. All these factories, after 
striving four or five years to overcome the objectionable qualities 
of Rubber, as then manufactured, abandoned the business at a 
heavy loss. 

CHARLES GOODYEAR. 

In the year 1834 Charles Goodyear, who was born in New 
Haven, Conn., Dec. 29, 1809, had his attention drawn to the 
manufacture of India Rubber, and not knowing at the time the 
many difficulties with which he had to contend, commenced 
experimenting. He resolved, if possible, to accomplish that 
which had baffled many of the best scientific men of the day. His 
object was to divest India Rubber of its objectionable qualities. 
It would be impossible in a brief notice like this to detail the hopes 
and fears, the alternation of success and failure, in his experiments 
during the next six years, followed as they were by disheartening 
trials, struggles and poverty, such as are generally experienced by 
eminent discoverers. 

But confident of ultimate success and the applause of the public, 
he continued his efforts. 

From 1834 to 1839 he kept up his experiments; his stock of 
money gradually grew smaller. Misfortune and disappointments 
overtook him, his family was reduced to extreme poverty ; he was 
denounced by his friends as insane. Had his experiments required 
the aid of machinery, or more than a few dollars at a time, neces- 
sity would have compelled him to desist from the experiment, but 
his extraordinary persistence was at last rewarded, for after a long 
series of experiments he at last discovered the vulcanizing process 
now so well known throughout the civilized world as the Goodyear 
process. The first idea of vulcanizing Rubber by the application 
of heat occurred to Mr. Goodyear in 1839, ^^^ i' '^'^^ not until 1843 



729 BROADWAY, COR. WAVERLY PLACE. 63 



that he had so far perfected his invention as to apply for patents 
in the United States, England and France. June 15, 1844, he 
obtained his first patent from the United States Government for 
vulcanizing India Rubber. New, curious and useful applications 
have constantly been made since Goodyear first obtained his 
patent. "'^ . patent for hard Rubber was granted to Nelson 
Goodv .;> the United States Government, May 6, 1851. 

Thi- tliange effected in Rubber by the Goodyear process may be 
compared to what is -^rought in a perishable hide or skin by tan- 
ning; it produces an article that has all the valuable properties of 
Rubber in its highest 'perfectioh'^ithout the imperfection of the 
native rubber; it can be made as hard as iron, with a beautiful 
polish almost equal to glass; it can be made as elastic as the native 
rubber. 

In the manufacture of Rubber from three to ten per cent, of 
sulphur and various metallic oxides (chiefly lead and zinc) are 
combined with it. The quality of the latter depending on the 
degree of elasticity and other properties required of the article to 
be manufactured ; and to judiciously combine the substances with 
the Rubber in suitable proportions to produce the desired end, as 
well as in properly vulcanizing it afterward, requires great experi- 
ence and skill. 

A certain degree of honesty on the part of the manufacturer is 
also essential, to abstain from introducing mere adulterated sub- 
stances into his " compound" and thereby cheapening the product 
at the expense of its quality. ^ 

This always proves very expensive to the consumer. It is a 
common error with persons not ccm'versant with the subject, to 
suppose that Rubber in being manufactured is treated with 
solvents, and can therefore, if necessary, be run into a mould like 
molten lead, but this is entirely a mistake, as, since Mr. Goodyear's 
invention of vulcanizing Rubber, no solvents have been used in its 
manufacture, the intermixing being done by the operation of 
machinery, after the manner of mixing dough for bread, and at no 
stage of the process up to the time of vulcanizing is the Rubber 
softer than stiff dough, and consequently it has to be pressed and 
moulded into the various forms required.

GUTTA-PERCHA. 

Many persons suppose that India Rubber and Gutta-percha are 
one arid the same thing. Gutta-percha is produced from the sap 
or juice of the Gutta tree, found in all the islands of the Indian 
Archipelago. In its crude state it has no resemblance to the India 
Rubber of commerce, nor are its chemical and mechanical pro- 
perties the same. It is a fibrous substance, oily, and much 
resembles sole-leather; it is without elasticity or much flexibility. 
If allowed to remain in hot water for a few minutes it becomes 
soft, like putty, and can be mou lded into any shape.
